Sounds like fun :-D

I'm running late at work, so going to bump the turn by a couple of hours. Apologies, guys.

No-one has lost an army yet - that will actually decide things.

Edit: It's probably at the point where you could extend things to 36 hours.

Anyone else object to moving to 36 hour turns?

GFSnl · #**124** March 22nd, 2011, 07:12 AM

36 hours is fine by me.

On another note.

I just happened to fly a little over Caelums borders to test my newly purchased Wing-Wax 2000.
It's to dazzle the chicks with my shiny feathers while I'll do a combined 360 with screw in mid air, that I saw this great gathering of fish and land animals who were having a blast at kicking each others skulls in.
Although the fishies had to leave early, it looked like fun.

36 hours would be good for me too.

And I'm glad that battle had an observer, GFSnl. Sadly, my troops were too busy fighting to see your test flight, but it's probably for the best. My rank and file are a *tad* xenophobic and would have likely taken pot shots at you. So I'd recommend avoiding cities for now. I'm sure they'll be more friendly to neighbors once this conflict is over with.

On a positive note, my prototype Green Lions were a huge success! Their fiery acid breath both cooks and tenderizes, for a perfect horse steak every time! Lu-xing, their developer and technician, will be duly rewarded with the title "Iron Chef".

P.S. Aquatic war trolls? Now I've seen everything!

Edit: Apparently some of my troops did in fact take potshots at an overhead scout after the battle was over. I apologize for their overzealousness, and I hope this does not create any tension between both our fine nations.

The ministry of Truth has, after rigorous research, concluded that neither the burned arrow as the green bile found on the body of the scout was the cause of death.

The rapport showed that on a sunny day Wing-Wax 2000 becomes liquid and reduces aerodynamic properties of feathers. In normal situations this poses no problem but only when flying upside down.
It's still a mystery as to why this experienced scout was flying in that position.

Wing-Wax 2000 Inc. will be fined 100 million bird seeds and the CEO's bonus is reduced from 50 million to 49.98 million bird seeds.

We hope this unfortunate incident causes no harm to our warm diplomatic relations.

Singed,

Tweety, The ministry Of Truth.

In news from the lands of Shinuyama, Bogus and his crew have visited... again. In hindsight, hunting down and murdering his family then desecrating their bodies after his first visit was perhaps not the "ideal" course of action. Nevertheless a few intercontinental ballistic arrows were sent and have greatly reduced the threat ahead of our most magnanimous armies re-taking the land.

jimbojones1971 · #**128** March 22nd, 2011, 08:37 PM

OK, I have tweaked it to 36 hours hosting time (extended current turn by 12 hours, and changed the setting).

In other news, anyone want to take bets on how Oceania will celebrate his ultimate victory? At the rate that dude is putting up globals, battle outcomes are basically irrelevant

Hah. I'm not that worried. 15 gems/turn is nice, but not game-winning, and gift of health only improves his turtling. His troops already have recuperation, and he doesn't have old-age mages. Besides, I have it on good authority that Mother Oak is going down, soon. And there aren't many globals that can be cast underwater

Must be time for the happy dance, in that case :-)
